Re: Curtis Alexander
In reply to:
Re: Looking for anyone who knew Curtis Alexander
Theresa (Mann) Norris 10/24/02
Good morning, Theresa !
I want to fill in a gap for you and your mother, related to the demise of James Curtis Alexander.
From the information listed at ABMC, we know that Curtis was a member of 179th Infantry Regiment, 45th Infantry Division, and that he was KIA 31 May 44, in Italy.
My referenceconfirms that the 45th ID was assigned to
VI Corps from 13 Aug 43.
30 May 1944:
"In the US Fifth Army sector, the Germans hold their positions between Albabo and Velletri, in spite of repeated attacks by the numerically superior Allied forces."
31 May 1944.
"The American VI and II Corps receive orders to mount an offensive against the Alban Hills. Albano (a German position) still holds out against attacks by the US VI Corps."
Stanton's "WW II Order of Battle" presents this account for the action:
"The 179th IR and 180th IR attacked up Albano Road on
29 May 44, and by 4 Jun 44, the division had secured crossings north of Rome."
Thus, Curtis would most likely died during the attack, either on the Albano Road or at Albano.
I hope that you will find this information of benefit and comfort.
With best regards to you and your mother.
Louie F. Turner.

What you need to know about bongs
When I found the herb and a good set of bongs from an online headshopI never looked back. I didn't realize what an alcoholic I had become in my blasé, middle-class existence. Now, I didn't have to drink because I had all the "medicine" I needed. That's how I met my friend. He was standing in line at the marijuana dispensary, and one thing led to another. Before I knew it we were hanging out watching Netflix for hours on end among the land of the daydreamers, high on chronic.
But, I have to say that I was truly amazed at his lack of smoking accessories and online headshop knowledge. From how this guy sounded when I first met him, and from all the gourmet blends that he bragged about buying; this guy was huffing out of a cheap plastic bong. Even in college, we came to abhor those things for the resin buildup, and the smell. Glass and ceramic were the way to go if you had any class! Have some class, get some glass, some of the little sisters in my fraternity would cheer. I always had plenty of tools from online headshops at the ready for both me and my stoner guests.
I have always bought my bongs from an online headshop - herbtools, who introduced me to the art. I quickly discovered how much I loved it, so two of my best friends and I bought another one together. We spent almost everyday after school smoking in my basement or backyard. We even started calling ourselves the "after-school stoner crew," we met and looked at an online headshop and loved our little meetings so much. We were all big bong fans, but our little group actually centered more on great conversation, not smoking. We always had interesting chats, talking about everything from what happened that day at school, movies we had seen, and the opposite sex. Sometimes only one person could come join me in my daily ritual, and that was when I realized how uniting bongs and cool smoking stuff from online headshops can be.
When my friends come over we always looked at every online headshop we could find, learning about all the new cool smoking tools that were out there just waiting to be purchased and used!

Breitbart Senior Editor MILO trended on Facebook earlier today, as the world remains transfixed by the riot caused by so-called "anti-fascists" that prevented the final event of his "Dangerous Faggot Tour" from taking place.
160,000 people were discussing MILO earlier today, according to Facebook's trending topics bar.
Last night, MILO told FOX News's Tucker Carlson that the left-wing media would create smears about those on the right, such as MILO, as a means of 'legitimizing violence.'
Coverage of the riots spread was reported across the world on Wednesday as students smashed ATMs and bank windows, looted a Starbucks, beat Trump supporters, pepper sprayed innocent individuals, and set fires in the street. Others spray painted the words "Kill Trump" on storefronts.
President Donald Trump condemned the riots, threatening to take away the university's federal funding if the university "does not allow free speech and practices violence on innocent people with a different point of view."
If U.C. Berkeley does not allow free speech and practices violence on innocent people with a different point of view – NO FEDERAL FUNDS?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 2, 2017
Since news of the riots broke out, pre-order sales of Breitbart Senior Editor MILO's upcoming book Dangerous increased by a staggering 12,740%, propelling it to the top of the Amazon best seller list.
DANGEROUS is available to pre-order now via Amazon, in hardcover and Kindle editions. And yes, MILO is reading the audiobook version himself!

A/N: NOPE! I do not own Final Fantasy! I'm telling you this because I seriously believe there's a chance Square-Enix might actually give a crap about the braingarbage an over-obsessed fangirl and sue me! :D :D :D
"Angst angst angst,
Woe, woe, woe,
Here's a trendy teenage band
Singing a song that is vague enough to fit anything
If you squint really hard"
- J. Random Emo Kid, "Man I Sure Do Miss My Girlfriend"
It was a warm day in Midgar and the sun rippled the sky. Yes it "rippled" the sky, because using adjectives that don't necessarily make sense is what real authors do because it makes them look smart. Cloud and Tifa walked down the street. All of a sudden a big portle opened up and Tidus fell out.
"Wow who are you" said Tifa. 'Man he is hot' she thought because there is no such thing as suggesting thoughts through body language.
"My name is Tidus" said Tidus.
"Where did you come from" said Cloud and Cloud saw how Tifa was looking at Tidus and it made Cloud mad.
"That portle" said Tidus
"Oh" said Cloud but Cloud was still mad. 'Why does Tifa like him'
"I bring bad news" said Tidus and he walked over to Cloud and Tifa and Tidus pointed at the sky. "Bahamut has turned evil and noone knows why so we have to team up and kill it"
"Ok" said Tifa.
And Cloud Tifa and Tidus went to the store and Tifa walked by Tidus and Cloud was mad because Cloud liked Tifa and Tifa was Cloud's girlfriend and not Tidus's. Using pronouns is bad form when it comes to serious writing, I know because I am in English II and my mommy says I write very good. They bought weapons at the store and then they called Cid on the phone.
"#$%#%$%" said Cid on the phone.
"Bahamut is killing people, we must kill him before he kills more people, so lets go kill him" said Cloud.
"##%$%#" said Cid and he flew over in the airship
Cloud started to walk to the airship but when he did he saw the couch and Tifa and Tidus were on the couch and they were making love on the couch. Tifa was moaning and groaning and grinding. Sweet hot honey came out of her. "TIDDDDDDDDDUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" Tifa said. "TIIIIIIIIIIIIIFFFFFFFFAAAAAAAA!" Tidus said. They came at the same time because achieving orgasm in unison is a sign of true love and not fantastic control, timing, and an intimate knowledge of your partner. "I love you" Tidus said and Tifa believed him because everyone takes guys seriously when they say the three-word bitch-plugger in bed.
Cloud got hard watching this but he was mad so he didn't say anything. Cloud had a dark secret and that dark secret was Cid, and Cloud knew it, and Cid knew it, and Cid liked it, but Cid didn't say anything, because Cid was afraid, afraid of his love, a love that is okay because homosexuality is okay. So Cloud got on the airship. 'I have a dark secret' thought Cloud 'And that dark secret is Cid'
"Cid I love you" said Cloud and he kissed Cid and his tounge explored his mouth and they made sweet love in the butt because that is what gay men do and that is okay. Cloud did not even have to lube up because his love was so powerful it greased Cid's piping like Crisco.
"CIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!" said Cloud and he came.
"#$$#$&$$#$!$%$&$#!#!#%##$#!$#%!" said Cid and he came.
"Cloud you never loved me" Tifa suddenly said because she was suddenly there all of a sudden.
"Nope" said Cloud
And lo, from the horizon came a mighty roar -- behold, it is BAHAMUT! In their frighteningly inaccurate sexual escapades, our heroes lost the valuable time necessary to vanquish the mighty dragon! Spreading his leathery wings, the majestic being swooped down low, seizing the naked Cloud in his jagged talons and devouring him with a bloodthirsty, sickening crunch of bone! The heartbroken Cid cried into the night the name of his lost lover, but alas... alas! Type-less damage did rain from the heavens, and yea, all were smoten.

In the wake of the 2016 police killing of Philando Castille, concerned Twin Cities residents formed the community organization Blexit founded by Me'Lea Connelly to cultivate the practice of economic civil resistance. Over the course of several community meetings, Blexit members prioritized a campaign focusing on Black banking which led to conducting invest/divest banking actions. In late 2016, Blexit formed the Association for Black Economic Power (ABEP) to execute one of the banking strategies and to act as a firewall between the financial institution and the community activist organization. In partnership with a local founder, ABEP is organizing the project to establish a federally chartered Black-led credit union by 2019.

While sifting through this week's news, we here at Gelbergs lifted our jaws off the floor as we read a case involving Evgenia Magurina, a flight attendant in Russia who was openly discriminated against by her employer for her weight and appearance.
Ms Magurina brought a case alleging that her employer Aeroflot discriminated against her on multiple occasions. She said that in 2016 staff had to be 'measured' and 'photographed', after which she was told she had 'big cheeks and a big bust' and that she 'should wear a sports bra'. When she confronted senior managers about this, she was told that she did not meet the minimum 'size limit' of 48 in Russia, equivalent to a UK size 14. She further alleged that her "glamorous" airline routes were replaced by local overnight ones which resulted in a 30% pay cut and her bonus drastically reduced. This was the final straw that caused her to take legal action.
The airline rejected her allegations of discrimination, stating that they had reduced Ms Magurina's bonus because 'every extra kilo of (her) weight cost the airline more in fuel', and that their policy was based on the plane's narrow corridors and their crew's health, rather than Ms Magurina's appearance.
Ms Magurina won her case, as the judge declared the airline's policies were unlawful.
An openly discriminatory story like this is extremely rare in the UK. Generally employers know better than to openly impose such obviously sexist and discriminatory practices. Discrimination here is much more subtle. If an employer treats someone less favourably because of their sex, age, race and ethnicity etc., this would fall foul of the Equality Act 2010. Body weight is not a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010, however sex is. In Ms Magurina's case for example it seems that only the female flight attendants were required to be a certain size. This would equate to sex discrimination under the Equality Act 2010.
What does the Equality Act 2010 cover?
The Equality Act 2010 prohibits treating someone less favourably because of a protected characteristic. It also prohibits victimisation, harassment and implementing policies or practices that put someone at a disadvantage because of a protected characteristic. The protected characteristics are:
• age;
• disability;
• gender reassignment;
• marriage and civil partnership;
• pregnancy and maternity;
• race;
• religion or belief;
• sex;
• sexual orientation.
Does it only apply to the workplace?
No. The Act will not only protect a person at work, but in many other areas as well. These include:
• in education;
• as a consumer;
• when using public services;
• when buying or renting property;
• as a member or guest of a private club or association.
What should I do if I am being discriminated against?
There are many things you can do, and one of the first steps you should take is to document the discrimination and keep a record of each instance when you have felt discriminated against. You should also complain directly to the person who is discriminating against you, or you can raise a complaint to a colleague or HR if this is easier. Before you take the plunge and make a claim to the Employment Tribunal, speak to a solicitor to assess the merits of your complaints and your options. One option could be a severance or exit package as an alternative to litigation which can be expensive, stressful and time consuming.
Our employment team deals with all elements of Employment Law including the Equality Act 2010. If you have any questions regarding the matters discussed in this blog or have faced any sort of discrimination whilst at work, please contact Gelbergs' Employment Team on 0207 226 0570 or email email@example.com .
Remember always take advice for your particular circumstances!

"Just wanted you to know, this is amazing. Not only am I hearing more clearly, but I'm hearing sounds I haven't heard in a while, and even more sounds I didn't know existed. The volume on the car radio is down 5 notches; the TV sound is set at half what I used to need; I can hear all the notes in a bird's sound; my water garden gurgles a lot more than I knew. Even the crinkling is different. It doesn't discriminate; the brain has to learn to do that all over again. The wind from an open car window is obnoxious, as are the engine noises from big trucks alongside. I can hear traffic noise in my backyard too. I joined the company I work for one year ago. I didn't know there was a "beep" when your security pass cleared you through a door. I thought it was just a little green light. I am so impressed I just wanted to let you know."
"My experience with FHC has been superior in every way. Gena is a very caring person and is actually a pleasure to see her on my visits. My digital hearing aids have made my life so much easier since I can now be much more at ease with everyone. Before, I would ask someone to please turn up the volume. Now, it is, "Dad, please turn up the volume on the TV so I can hear."
"My wife first obtained hearing aids from the FHC, she was very satisfied with the service provided by Dr. Gena Marino, not only initially, but throughout the years. As a result of her satisfaction, I also obtained my hearing aids at FHC and I have been pleased with Gena's cheerful and high quality service I am receiving. I do not hesitate recommending FHC to anyone needing assistance for highly professional service."
"Dr. Gena Marino discovered my brain tumor through a thorough hearing exam. She has provided consistent personalized care for the years that I have been wearing my hearing aids. I am forever grateful!"
"I have been using hearing aids furnished by Fairfax Hearing Center for nearly a year. During this time, I have noticed a marked increase in my hearing ability. This improvement, together with the outstanding professional care received from FHC, has enhanced my lifestyle and convinced me that I made the right choice in selecting FHC to alleviate my hearing problem."
"The installation of my new hearing aids made the greatest difference in communication with my teenage children. If I now don't hear them, they say "Dad put your hearing aids on!"

A single of the beauties of operating a POD merchandise retailer, is that you never have to be good at art! I am preparing on opening an online fashion retailer that sell other brands as effectively as mine. USA primarily based online purchasing website was founded by Sandeep Aggarwal in the year 2011. When it comes to leading ecommerce purchasing web sites for new born babies and little ones, Babyoye is one name not to forget. This is nice web site list because each and every website will do the daily deep with international home delivery. Errors in billing are more common on the internet and you get an quick receipt for the goods.
Millennials, Gen X and Child Boomers are more than twice as probably as seniors to say they could not live with no on-line shopping (43% to 20%). Appreciate the Christmas purchasing now and you'll get rid of rush and pressure just before vacation. You can use gift cards and debit cards to shop online too apart from bank transfers, paypal and so forth. SheInside – (Asian Internet site, Totally free worldwide Shipping) is 1 of the web's first on-line shops and has been assisting the style-conscious look fabulous given that 2008.
As reported in all major newspapers on 16th Sept 2014, Chief Executive Officer of the Firms Commission of Malaysia (SSM), Datuk Mohd Naim Daruwish had once more reminded people that do company on-line to register with SSM. I occasionally find that the item can be photographed in such a way as to hide its flaws till you get it (typically when it comes to plasticware) but most on-line buying purchases have worked out well for me, with a couple of them becoming drastically far better high quality than walking about a common shopping mall.
This way you can locate inexpensive offers or purchase a solution otherwise unavailable in shops. These days, far more and a lot more individuals, specifically for the office worker, don't have that considerably free time to go shopping they're busy operating, studying and carrying out other critical factors. Yet another way is to shop at second hand retailers – sometimes you can locate a designer dress or clothes – it is like a treasure hunt, and when you score, it tends to make your day!! Ultimately, I would adore for men and women to post in the comments section if they have other suggestions for web sites comparable to these that maybe are not that effectively-known.
Yes, there are several online shops raking in 6-figure income, but there are plenty far more which have in no way even observed a cent back on their investments. When you shop for groceries and add items to your cart, you do not have to check out quickly soon after shopping. Some sites have lengthy return polices that you don't want to deal with, so if there is an item you would like and would return it if you need to have to get a diverse size read the policy. The buying internet site provides excellent benefit of more quickly product delivery and cost-free shipping on ordered products for more than Rs.500.

Q&A: Abu Qatada and terrorism deportations
Senior judges at the European Court of Human Rights have ruled that radical cleric Abu Qatada cannot appeal against his deportation to Jordan. The UK has been attempting to remove him since 2005 and he is currently being held in a maximum security prison.
Who is Abu Qatada?
His real name is Omar Othman and he is a Palestinian-Jordanian Islamic scholar who was born in Bethlehem. He came to the UK in 1993 and is among a large group of Islamists who fled from the Middle East to London because they faced persecution.
Abu Qatada is an influential advocate of mujahideen causes. He is accused of threatening British national security by supporting terrorism, something he denies. He has never been charged with an offence in the UK, but has been held in detention and had his movements restricted by a control order because he was suspected of playing a key role in radicalisation.
What did the European Court rule in January?
Seven judges of the European Court of Human Rights - one of whom is British - blocked the deportation of cleric Abu Qatada to Jordan. He was convicted in his absence of terrorism offences there.
Why did the European court block the deportation?
In their ruling, the judges said that while they were satisfied that the preacher would not face ill-treatment if deported, he could not face a retrial in Jordan because the key evidence against him was obtained by torturing others. It said that sending him back to Jordan would legitimise that state's use of torture.
How important is this case?
This is the first time that the Strasbourg court has ruled that someone cannot be expelled because the torture of others would mean that they would be denied a fair trial. The case is enormously important for the UK because the government wants to deport other men who also say they would not be treated humanely or fairly in their home countries.
Why did this case end up at the European Court?
The Court of Appeal in London originally blocked Abu Qatada's deportation on broadly the same lines as those now used by Europe. But in 2009 the then Law Lords overturned the Court of Appeal's decision and said that the deportation could go ahead.
The lords ruled that Abu Qatada's rights would be protected if he were deported. Crucially, they ruled that while evidence against him may have been extracted by torture of another suspect, there were no reasonable grounds for believing that the Jordanian courts could not offer a fair trial.
Was the Strasbourg decision final?
Both sides had three months to appeal to the Grand Chamber of the court - its highest decision-making body. The court made clear that if the UK obtained an assurance from Jordan that evidence obtained by torture would not be used against Abu Qatada at trial, there would be nothing to stop his deportation. British ministers and officials struck a new deal with Jordan which they believed would satisfy the court.
However, Abu Qatada put in a legal challenge at the 11th hour, contesting the court's ruling that he would not personally face torture if deported.
Why did the deadline matter?
The appeal was hugely embarrassing for the Home Office. Theresa May, the Home Secretary, told MPs that the deadline had passed - but court officials said it had not.
Mrs May ordered Abu Qatada's detention in April declaring that the European process had come to an end - and that she had the assurances on a fair trial from Jordan. That, she argued, meant the government could press ahead with the deportation because there were no outstanding human rights issues. If she was wrong about the deadline and the Grand Chamber looked at the case, it could have dragged on for a further year.
Worse still for the government, ministers feared the judges would re-examine the assurances that Jordan has already given to the UK.
The government has signed deportation deals known as Memorandum of Understanding (MOUs) with four governments - Lebanon, Jordan, Ethiopia and Morocco. There is a further separate agreement with Algeria to look at deportations on a case-by-case basis. Each of these deals is supposedly a guarantee by the relevant government to protect the human rights of anyone who is deported and some 15 individuals are known to be facing deportation under MOUs.
So was the appeal accepted?
No. A panel of judges said it had arrived in time - but that they had refused it. The Home Office has suffered some political embarrassment in getting the deadline wrong - but given that the case has not been referred to the Grand Chamber, that no longer matters.
What happens now?
The case is back in the British courts - but the legal options have narrowed. Abu Qatada is appealing against the new Memorandum of Understanding which the UK argues proves he will get a fair trial. If he loses that hearing against his deportation, he can try to appeal on a point of law. He could theoretically take his case back to Strasbourg - but it is simpl;y not clear yet what will happen.

In her opinion, the parrots were annoying arrogant. You could buy the most beautiful one in town, she observed, but that won't make it love you. You could feed it, care for it and exclaim over its loveliness, but there was nothing to guarantee that it would stay home with you. There had to be a lesson in there somewhere.

Emmerdale's Kerry Wyatt to fall into coma
- Bang Showbiz
- 27 December 2016
Kerry Wyatt will dice with life next year when she falls into a coma on a bridge
Emmerdale's Kerry Wyatt is set to fall into a coma next year.
The outspoken former factory worker - who battles with diabetes - will finally get her life back on track when she's struck yet another blow after she falls unconscious on a bridge while out and about with her grandson Kyle.
Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper, Laura Norton - who plays the bolshie brunette - said: "Kerry is out spending the day with Kyle and begins to feel unwell. I collapse on the bridge and, because we're near water, I shout at Kyle to run away and get help because I don't want him to get hurt. However, when he is found everyone just assumes I got drunk again and fell over. But it's not true."
After spending Christmas Day (25.12.16) alone following his split from Dan Spencer (Liam Fox), Kerry decides to ditch the booze for good but she's tempted to hit the bottle again after she locks horns with Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley), who is the father of Kyle by Kerry's daughter Amy (Chelsea Halfpenny).
She explained: "In the new year this feud with Cain seems to get out of control. He's in a really bad place and keeps putting her down. There are just two jibes too many from Cain. He then takes it a step further and says she can't have any access to Kyle. She is heartbroken again. So she's in the Woolpack and trying her best not to drink but she's lonely and manipulated by Charity.
"Charity (Dingle, Emma Atkins) is a sociopath and that's where you do get to see that Kerry isn't really a bad person. Charity seems to have no emotion or remorse and isn't bothered at all. But in those scenes you see Kerry's heart and Charity is behind the bar slyly spiking Kerry's drinks with alcohol. So she gets goaded into doing something she doesn't necessary really want to do."
Charity manages to get inside Kerry's head and convinces her to get revenge on Cain by setting fire to the Dingles' family caravan, but she doesn't realise that her friend Zak Dingle (Steve Halliwell) had been staying in there.
Laura said: "She's 100 per cent convinced that no-one is in there. She even knocks on the door. So she just smokes a cigarette and then makes a terrible decision. What she doesn't know is that Zak's actually been living there and could be inside. It's devastating for her because she has a great relationship with him and he's been kind to her, so the thought of hurting him just kills her.
"When she realises he's safe she confesses what she's done to him and he's lovely to her, which makes her feel even worse. The repercussions with Cain are ongoing and she's made an even bigger enemy of the most dangerous man in the village."

Wedding Planner vs. Wedding Coordinator? Clients and even industry professionals regularly mix up these two terms or use them interchangeably and today we're going to set the record straight: A Wedding Coordinator is the person who is on site on your wedding day to help implement your wedding plans. A Wedding Planner is the professional who provides guidance, logistical support and planning assistance throughout your wedding planning process.
Still seem a little too similar to warrant an entire blog post? Allow us to elaborate with some examples:
A Wedding Coordinator is a vendor who has the skill set to resolve on the spot issues or problems on your wedding day should your planning fall short in any way. They are an invaluable asset to any couple getting married to ensure that all issues are addressed- your Fixer. The heroic ways in which they save the day are innumerable and regularly go unseen by the couple. However, they do not create timelines, they do not consult on layouts or design details. Their job is not to conduct site visits or field late-night panicky phone calls because your headcount is way off from the guarantee that you gave the caterer. A Wedding Coordinator is not supposed to have answers as to why cocktail hour was scheduled for 2.5 hours or why the parents of the couples were accidentally sat all the way across the room. They are there to do the work that you would rather not do on your wedding day, and they do it well. They know how to resolve last-minute hiccups in an efficient and effective manner and they typically charge based on the amount of time that you would like them to be on site for your wedding day.
A Wedding Planner is a professional that will help to guide you through the process of planning your wedding, many times from engagement up to your wedding day. They understand the elements of successful event design and are educated in wedding etiquette and traditions. They know current trends and maintain relationships with professional vendors. A Wedding Planner can consult on budget questions and venue permitting, and is responsible for staying on top of all local laws and rules regarding events (and there are a lot!). Things that are not included in a Wedding Planner's job description, however, are schlepping equipment or climbing the rickety ladder to string the twinkly lights they helped you decide on. They are not the one that is going to be on site at 6:00 am to start draping fabric panels from the rafters or driving out to find the bakery's broken down van and transporting the cake with the AC on full-blast two hours before your wedding (true story, remind us to tell you that story another time!). A Wedding Planner can tell you which flowers will be in the height of their season at the time of your wedding, but does not sit elbow deep in those flowers creating your DIY centerpieces as your guests arrive. Their pricing is based on their experience, education and quality of performance.
So then, which is right for you? A Wedding Planner or A Wedding Coordinator? At Kai Squared, our solution is: BOTH!
There's no reason why you can't have an experienced Planner who can also implement all of those amazing plans as your Coordinator, which is why of our Event Professionals have years of experience in both roles. Our Event Professionals serve as both Event Designer (Planner) and Event Producer (Coordinator) on any given day giving them the most comprehensive understanding of your event- from both sides of the coin. If you're in need of some professional help for your wedding, give us a call and we'll help you look at your event from every perspective.

text: So many people are stuck in rooms and hospitals just recuperating from something or living a dull life. I want to create a series of travel DVD's (I know, that's been done) that focus on train trips. It would give the viewer a virtual seat on a train passing through gorgeous landscapes from around the world. These travel odysseys would allow a shut-in to experience the thrill of 'visiting' far off lands and helping them keep their sanity. Not a great idea but viable, nonetheless.

When young entrepreneurs get too entrepreneurial, the regulators they love to elect start cracking down. Will they never learn?
In the same week that the city of Kansas City, Missouri, published its proposed new rules to regulate Airbnb, I just happened to be re-reading F.A. Hayek's classic, The Road to Serfdom. My guess is that Hayek would not smile on the proposed rules. Airbnb was leading us on the road from serfdom. Kansas City would have us hang a You-ee.
About 10 years ago in San Francisco, in response to the housing crunch in that city, a couple of young techies had a brainstorm. To offset the price of their loft apartment, they would put some air mattresses on the floor and turn the loft into a bed and breakfast. So was born AirBed & Breakfast.
In much the way Uber matches drivers with passengers, Airbnb matches people who need space with those who have space to spare. The need was there. The Airbnb online marketplace now lists more than 3 million units spread among nearly 200 countries.
For all their success, the entrepreneurs of the "sharing economy" face a conundrum: They and their Millennial pals know better than other Americans how life should be organized. Just ask them. When these people reach critical mass in a given city, they inevitably insist on imposing their wisdom on their fellow citizens. In no time at all, the creative class becomes the regulatory class.
As a result, virtually every city in America insists on regulating Airbnb's service. Although Airbnb has been operating here for at least six years without incident, the City of Kansas City, Mo. has finally gotten around to placing its own roadblocks on the highway to freedom.
If there is a "sharing economy" for regulators, Kansas City seems to have plucked its model from the listing "coercive." To coerce, it helps first to scare. This the city does most convincingly. Its proposed regs open with this buzz-kill, "Currently, it is illegal to rent homes for short term rentals." Illegal? OMG!
Having chilled the air, the city positions itself not a regulator but as a liberator. Its alleged goal is "to legalize short-term rentals." If we were talking here about illegal aliens instead of illegal rentals, the city would be selling this gesture as "general amnesty." That said, if our undocumented friends had to jump through as many hoops as Airbnb hosts will, they never would have left home.
The first roadblock is the application. Airbnb hosts "must submit" one. The second roadblock is the affidavit. If they occupy the units they plan to share, hosts must prove they have notified their neighbors. The third roadblock is the up-front $100 fee, and the fourth is the annual reregistration with the city. If hosts fail to follow these steps, the "platform provider," Airbnb, cannot do business with them.
Hosts who do not live in the property they own face more roadblocks still. Condos are out; single-family structures only. At least 75 percent of the neighbors must sign an affidavit approving of the use. The first-year permit cost would be $259 if the neighbors approve and $596 if they do not.
Meanwhile, the city planning and development director must manage this whole enchilada, which includes evaluating applications, holding hearings for those applicants rejected, investigating complaints, and posting the lists. Last year, there were 460 Airbnb hosts in the city. The new laws would likely cut that number in half, maybe more. Their registration fees will not begin to cover the cost of the administrative apparatus needed to manage this dwindling economy.
City leaders, who have been salivating over the "creative class" since that class was created, run a major risk of alienating its members. Airbnb hosts dislike the new regs, as does the local tech community. Airbnb management hates them. Said an Airbnb spokesman, "This ordinance as currently written would create one of the most restrictive and burdensome short-term rental regulatory structures in the country." One would expect no less from a one-party city.
For years, the Airbnb business flourished without any regulatory oversight. The hosts had a vested interest in recruiting good lodgers and keeping their neighbors happy. If the lodgers did cause problems, the neighbors did what they have always done. Address them.
Some years back, for instance, a group of diverse young men lived in the house next door to mine. From time to time, they would take to celebrating their diversity. As tolerant as the next guy, I intervened only when the celebrations came too often and got too loud.
After one party, I bagged up the empty peach wine cooler bottles strewn along the street and the used condom or two, presented the bag to the neighbor on the lease, and explained that his party days were over. When he protested, I pointed out the four names above the doorbell and explained the neighborhood was zoned for one. Other than an outburst of shrieking after the Supreme Court ended the Florida vote count in 2000, he and his pals became good neighbors.
The real challenge is not pacifying neighbors. It is educating the creative class. For all the entrepreneurial energy of its members, they have not read their Hayek or their Bastiat or their Adam Smith. Few have a foundational understanding of the way free enterprise works. As a result, they keep electing people who promise to take their freedom away and are continually surprised when elected officials do just that.
These officials have been around forever, and their motives haven't changed. Wrote Hayek 75 years ago, "To act on the belief that we possess the knowledge and the power which enable us to shape the processes of society entirely to our liking, knowledge which in fact we do not possess, is likely to make us do much harm."
I'm a millennial. I'll try my hand at Hayek. Thanks,

Perfect for the Newborn Parent #StreamTeam/
^^^ 99% sure Cheers was on in the background when this photo was taken.
My Instagram feed is currently warm and fuzzy and happy because all the babies are being born! And I love it. I thought that the perfect theme for this month's Netflix #StreamTeam post would be a few addictive shows that are perfect if you are a first time parent with a newborn that either nurses a lot and/or screams a lot and/or sleeps a lot and you really don't mind when the next episode just automatically plays because the baby is still nursing and nursing away or your are still stepping around in a box while bouncing up and down because it is the only way soothe your baby and don't you dare stop! My criteria for this list includes
- the show's run must be over
- the show can't be too heavy and mildly mindless so if you drift off to sleep you don't miss too much.
- House, MD. I have seen every episode of House. I'm sure everything in it is very unrealistic, hospital protocol-wise, but isn't that what a medical drama is?
- Friday Night Lights - well, Chris and I enjoy watching sports and Chris is technically from Texas so maybe that played into us enjoying this series, but it really is great! I do feel like the last few seasons were not up to the par of the first few.
- Cheers - a hilarious classic!
- Friends - okay, I don't think I need to explain this one! The fashion in the first season kind of makes it.
What are your favorite binge-watch shows?
I am part of the Netflix #StreamTeam so I will be writing one post a month about movies and shows that have made me happy to have in our family queue. To be totally forthcoming, I have been compensated with a streaming device and a one year streaming subscription to Netflix, but this is a service that I have used at minimum four times a week for the past four years (and at many points in the timeline, everyday) so you can say that I am definitely excited to be partnering with them. Woohoo!

Finalamente! Spring has sprung me from the jail which was the inside of my home for too many bitter cold and snowy months. Green is the new white. A sponge of tender blades and moss has replaced the brittle ice under foot. Now, we can romp outside where the sweetness of May swirls around us from clouds of magnolia and witch hazel, our faces very slightly tawny as we lift them, with much gratitude, to a warm Maine sun.

The Chybisan Royal Guard – History
May 31, 2016
Chybisa has one standing professional military force — the Royal Guard. Their primary responsibility is the protection of the royal household but they also regularly patrol the Genin Trail to ensure that trade, the economic lifeblood of Chybisa, continues to flow. To many, they are the "Stalwart Boars", dutiful and noble. But to others who are less respectful, they are brutish "unctuous pigs".
This article is the first in a series which details the history and traditions of the Chybisan Royal Guard in the GREEN & PLEASANT LAND campaign. There is some minor deviation from canon in that auxiliary forces have been included in the force composition. Further articles will detail the traditions and the force composition of the Royal Guard.

A Chybisan Almanac
June 23, 2015
To Chybisans, the passage of time is not a turning of the calendar's page. It is measured in the spring thaw, the turning of the soil, the sowing, and the harvest, and punctuated with the passage of the great spring and fall caravans and the hustle and bustle of the market fairs they bring. "A Chybisan Almanac" contains a month-by-month recounting of the activities that occur in the small Kingdom of Chybisa, and would be seen by adventurers and those passing through. Originally written to support the "Peoni's Tear" PBeM campaign, "A Chybisan Almanac" was first published in the source book "Chybisa: Green & Pleasant Land." This version offers a new graphic presentation that is consistent with HârnWorld 3rd Edition articles.
This material was adapted from the website of Sophia Tribad, and has her blessing to be presented in this format. The download includes the Open Office document; permission is granted to modify this document for personal use only.

Geology of Hârn
March 25, 2013
What are the rocks that lie underneath all the kingdoms of Hârn? Why is there a salt mine at this particular location? Why is Lake Benath so big? This article attempts to reconcile the information from the maps and canon writings of HârnWorld with real-world geology. Sometimes that's a difficult thing to do because Hârn is in fact too regular and too disparate at the same time.
With colourful maps and solid explanations, this is an invaluable aide to GMs and of interest to players. The Geology of Harn is a worthy edition to anyone's collection.

November 2002 – The second issue of Thonahexus started with an essay by Lucas Magnusson about his ideas on Hârnic campaigns. He followed this with an article on the Anoth Delta and a convention adventure called "A Diabolical Plan."

Godstones: An Operational Analysis
July 16, 2008
Godstones: An Operational Analysis is a detailed (12 page) attempt to build a consistent rationale for the way Godstones seem to operate. It is rules-neutral, and maintains consistency with the published information on Earthmasters and the sites they left behind.
The discussion covers why the sites look the way they do, what the entire network was used for, and why the system broke. While it is just one person's view and an interesting possibility, it is a very thought provoking article and one that GMs can make very good use of for their games.

The Lady of Paladins
May 18, 2008
This is a wonderful companion piece to Whyce Chapterhouse (qv) and Nebulan Chapterhouse (qv), as it describes the Laranian fighting order, The Lady of Paladins; its history, saints, and relationships with other orders within the Hârnic Church of Larani. It also discusses the current Solori Crusade, and its probably role in any crisis over the succession to the Kaldoric Crown. It also covers the daily routine of members of the order, location of its major chapterhouses, and the ranks of the Order. Included is a set of illustrations of rank badges for the order.

Hârn Pottage
January 4, 2008
As the title suggests, this has a bit of everything in it and flavoured with a little meat. It's a mishmash of random buildings, places and things to be used on Hârn anywhere the GM feels appropriate. Although locations are given for a couple of pieces, these are optional and easily moved.
Also included are various arcane items for campaigns which use magic. The mini adventures/encounters included will hopefully help those GMs who have nothing prepared, or as filler for their PCs' travels between major points in their present quest, but could be used as a starting off point for beginning characters.
The piece is excellently illustrated by Richard Luschek, and you already know Mike's beautiful maps from his work on the Tashal module for CGI. Hârn Pottage is a must-have module. I'll certainly be making use of it, and I hope there are many more Pottage modules to come in the future.
by Mike St-Pierre
Update 2008-01-04: Hârn Pottage has been reviewed on RPGnet, and those thoughts are up for all the world to see. Jocelyn Robitaille gave the article top marks for style and only marked down substance by a single point because he doesn't use (or even know) Hârn and couldn't use the items described in it. Hmmm…I can see his point, but surely a bit of thought might provide him with some ideas as to how to use the items. Still, 9 out of 10 is a pretty good score. Well done Mike!

text: The Tear of Isha was a stellar manipulator. It was kept in the Omega Arsenal. The Tear was designed to collapse black holes. Rassilon ordered the use of the Tear on the Tantalus Eye, in order to prevent a Dalek plan to wipe Gallifrey from history. This plan, and the use of the Tear, was prevented by the War Doctor, who travelled to the end of the universe. Cinder then fired the Tear into a red giant, collapsing the star.

The CARMENES planet hunter, with participation of ICE (IEEC-CSIC), ready to find new Earths
- The Institute of Space Sciences (IEEC-CSIC) is in charge of the scientific preparation and exploitation of the project
- The ICE (IEEC-CSIC) has also designed the 'brain' of CARMENES and the software that selects the optimum star to observe at each point in time
Over two thousand planets outside of our Solar System have been detected so far, and almost all of them are hostile to life due to their size or the extreme closeness to their star. The CARMENES project, carried out by a consortium of eleven German and Spanish partner institutions, including the Institute of Space Sciences (IEEC-CSIC), has been designed to look for Earth-like planets in the habitability area, which is the region around a star where conditions allow the presence of liquid water. After five years of development, the instrument has passed the test phase and is now ready to search for new Earths from the 3.5m telescope of the Calar Alto Observatory (MPG/CSIC), in Almeria, Spain.
The search for habitable exoplanets
When planets orbit around their star they produce slight oscillatory motions in it. When measured with the proper precision, these displacements act as signposts for the presence of orbiting planets. However, the search for Earth-like planets around Sun-like stars is very challenging because the oscillations are so tiny that they cannot be detected with current technology. "Therefore we will look for planets orbiting so-called M dwarfs. These are very small stars, which offer conditions for the existence of liquid water in close orbits, where we can detect the oscillation produced by planets similar to ours", explains Andreas Quirrenbach, researcher at the Landessternwarte (Univ. Heidelberg) and the leader of the CARMENES team.
"M dwarfs are much cooler and redder than the Sun, so we have to observe both the visible and the infrared light. This is the strength of CARMENES: no other instrument can do this", adds Dr. Pedro Amado, researcher at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) and the Spanish project leader of the project. This will allow avoiding false positives in planet detection, a common problem till now as the signals from the stellar activity and other stellar physical mechanisms might be confused with the existence of planets. CARMENES will be able to confirm the findings without further verification.
The scientific exploitation, in the hands of the Institute of Space Sciences (IEEC-CSIC)
The Institute of Space Sciences (IEEC-CSIC) plays an essential role in CARMENES: it is responsible for the scientific preparation and exploitation through the role of Ignasi Ribas as Project Scientist. "We lead the selection of the stars to be observed, the collection of all the information needed to guarantee the precision and analysis of the key data to discover habitable planets", explains Ribas.
Beyond this científic role, the ICE (IEEC-CSIC) is also responsible for very important technological tasks in the CARMENES instrument. "We have built the Instrument Control System (ICS), the 'brain' of CARMENES. The ICS centralizes all the subsystems in CARMENES in order to control their working conditions, performance and proper environment, ensuring a robust operation", explains Josep Colomé, manager and technical responsible of the project at the ICE (IEEC-CSIC). The institute has also built the observation scheduler, a complex piece of software that takes into account a great number of variables (object properties, prioritization, environment information) to choose the optimum star to be observed at each time.
CARMENES, in Calar Alto
Given the features and the scientific significance of the project, the Calar Alto Observatory, which is operated jointly by the Max-Plank-Society (MPG) and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), has allocated at least 600 nights of observing time with its largest telescope to the CARMENES consortium, a very unusual dedication in big astronomical infraestructures. "With CARMENES in operation, Calar Alto will become a global reference for Earth-like-planet searches and will be placed in the front line of astronomical instrumentation", says Jesús Aceituno, the observatory's deputy director.
CARMENES is a unique instrument in the world, both in precision and stability, essential qualities to measure the tiny speed variations that a planet produces in stars: CARMENES will observe stars hundreds of billions km away and will able to measure variations in their velocity of only 4 km/h, comparable to the speed of a walking person.
To achieve such accuracy, it needs not only a meticulous optical design but also maintaining the most stable conditions in the operation environment of the instrument. It will operate in vacuum condition and with temperature controlled down to the thousandth of a degree. Thanks to these features, researchers expect to discover dozens of potentially habitable planets over the next few years.
International project
CARMENES will operate in the 3.5m telescope of the Calar Alto Observatory (Almeria) and has been developed by a consortium of eleven German and Spanish institutions. In Spain, besides the Institute of Space Sciences (IEEC-CSIC), other participating institutes are: the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC), which co-leads the project and has developed the infrared spectrograph, the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM), the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and the Centro de Astrobiología (CAB, CSIC-INTA).
CARMENES is funded by the Max Planck Society (MPG), the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the members of the CARMENES consortium, with additional contributions by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (MINECO), the state of Baden-Württemberg, the German Science Foundation (DFG), the Klaus Tschira Foundation (KTS), the Junta de Andalucía and the European Union through FEDER/ERF funds.

Italy to Abandon airport Body Scanners
After a six-month test, Italy's government will drop the use of full-body scanners for security checks in airports, judging them slow and ineffective, Italian daily Corriere della Sera reported Thursday. . .
"We didn't get good results from body scanners during testing, it takes a long time to examine a person, more than with a manual inspection," said Vito Riggio, the president of Italy's aviation authority.
The naked body scanners are not only slow and ineffective, they store your naked images and they irradiate you with carcinogenic and teratogenic radiation. But our government is going full court press with the scanners in Amerika. If we as a people allow the scanners to be installed and used at every major airport in the nation, as is the plan, it will be signal of weakness to the federal government and to their globalist controllers. We must protest and petition Congress to ban the scanners on the grounds of privacy and health concerns. It is obvious that the machines do nothing to increase airport and airline security. They are meant to help limit our freedom of movement, one more brick in the walls being erected to contain and enslave us all.

High speed 'penetrators' that could one day be used to breach the surface of planets have successfully passed their first test in the UK, accelerating to 300 metres per second (700 miles per hour) before striking their target.
A team of space scientists and engineers, including Drs Andrew Ball, Simon Sheridan and Axel Hagermann from The Open University's Planetary and Space Sciences Research Institute (PSSRI), test-fired the projectiles in Wales, recording a peak of 20,000 gee during impact (where humans can survive up to 10 gee).
Penetrators, which can carry data-collecting systems and sensors, are being developed as part of the 'robotic toolkit' for the future exploration of moons in our solar system.
The penetrator, developed by the UK Penetrator Consortium, was a successful validation of its structural design and elements of its electrical architecture, and produced important results on the g-load environment and its effects on key technologies. These included a number of components for geochemical instrumentation.
PSSRI's Simon Sheridan said: "It's very encouraging that our high-g mass spectrometer design survived the impact test. I'm now confident that penetrators are a real and practical method of deploying mass spectrometer devices into planetary surfaces."
Also of interest was the examination of the effects of impact on the target material, which have implications for the design of sampling techniques. Dr Ball added: "It was great to witness these successful tests, and we now have a good basis to proceed with development of prototypes."
The impact trial is part of a series of technical developments and studies in preparation for future planetary space missions. These include the proposed UK MoonLITE mission to the Moon which is hoped to be launched in 2013, and possible missions to moons of the outer planets – Europa, Ganymede, Enceladus and Titan. The trials were funded by the Science and Technology Facilities Council as part of the Mullard Space Science Laboratory's Rolling Grant.
The UK penetrator consortium is a grouping of British universities (UCL/MSSL, Birkbeck College, Imperial College, Leicester University, The Open University, and University of Surrey) and UK industry (EADS Astrium, QinetiQ and Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd).
As part of CEPSAR's initiatives in lunar science, PSSRI members are planning experiments to examine volatiles (e.g. water ice), heat flow and mechanical properties at the lunar surface.


text: Privacy Perils: De-mobilize Your Mobile Device Firm Publication Publications April 14, 2017 Have you ever been concerned about the security of your iPad/tablet when you leave your hotel room and head down to the beach or pool? Or when it is left in your car in the mall parking lot while you shop for hours? Or when you turn your back on it for a minute at the airport? A simple precaution you can take is to purchase an anti-theft cable lock. These typically work by using a strong adhesive to attach a small plate to the back of your device. There are a number of brands readily available online, though you should do your homework to determine which are more highly rated than others. Do they provide 100% security? Absolutely not. However, they do make theft considerably less likely, particularly from someone looking for a quick snatch and grab. Tablets are expensive to replace, and the valuable data they contain often irreplaceable. Spend a few dollars to save a lot more. Check out our series, Privacy Perils, to learn what steps you can take to guard your personal and company data.
